Quasitransitivity is a weakened version of transitive relation transitivity that is used in social choice theory or microeconomics . Informally, a relation is quasitransitive if it is symmetric for some values and transitive elsewhere. Formal definition A binary relation T over a Set mathematics set X is quasitransitive if for all a , b , and c in X the following holds math a operatorname T b wedge neg b operatorname T a wedge b operatorname T c wedge neg c operatorname T b Rightarrow a operatorname T c wedge neg c operatorname T a . math If the relation is also antisymmetric, T is transitive. Alternately, for a relation T, define the symmetric relation asymmetric part P math a operatorname P b Leftrightarrow a operatorname T b wedge neg b operatorname T a . math Then T is quasitransitive iff P is transitive. Examples Preference s are assumed to be quasitransitive rather than transitive in some economic contexts. The classic example is a person indifferent between 10 and 11 grams of sugar and indifferent between 11 and 12 grams of sugar, but who prefers 12 grams of sugar to 10.

unreferenced date September 2011 The pedagogical relation refers to special kind of personal relationship between adult and child or adult or student that is different from other personal relationships. The pedagogical relation is described by Hermann Nohl, Klaus Mollenhauer , and others in the humanistic European pedagogical tradition. It has been discussed more recently in English by Max van Manen, Norm Friesen and Tone Saevi. ref name Sisifo cite web url http sisifo.fpce.ul.pt ?r 22&p 71 title Sisifo Resources date 22 January 2011 ref The pedagogical relation is marked by a number of characteristics In the pedagogical relation the adult is directed toward the child. The relation is asymmetrical, unlike many other personal relationships e.g. friendship . The adult is there for the child in a way that the child is not there for the adult. In the pedagogical relation the adult wants or intends what is good for the child s future. This relationship is oriented to what the child may become, but without being determined by adult plans or goals. The pedagogical relation comes to an end. The child grows up and the asymmetry of the relation if it is still maintained dissolves. As Klaus Mollenhauer explains, upbringing comes to an end when the child no longer needs to be called to self activity, but instead has the wherewithal to educate himself. In the pedagogical relation the adult is tactful . As Max van Manen and Jakob Muth explain, tact in this context often consists of holding back and waiting or maintaining a certain distance so that the child may act for him or herself.
